Who's Conanche, and what does he have to do with the University of Kansas?
Comanche was allegedly the only survivor (on the U.S. side) of Custer's last stand at Little Horn. And he's a horse!
While some people mistakenly believe that the horse belonged to Custer himself, Comanche was actually owned by Myles Keogh, an Irish immigrant who fought valiantly for the United States.
Comanche was recovered by the Army, which decided that he was never to be riden or worked again, and was kept as a living memorial to the Battle of Little Big Horn.
After his death, he was stuffed and put on display at the University's Natural History Museum, where he remains to this day.
Bubble boys
Wyatt Ohse, David Fulbright, Anthony Groene and Thomas Petrie, third graders from Hillcrest Elementary School, blew bubbles using air blown through a ductwork. The activity was a part of a Friday demonstration at the KU Engineering EXPO in Learned Hall. At the EXPO, students from all engineering disciplines decorated the building, created displays and took part in contests.

Supreme Court justice's impartiality questioned
Just a month after Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia was scrutinized for hunting with Vice President Dick Cheney, which questioned his impartiality on a case, he has been linked to a similar situation with the dean of the KU law school.
Stephen McAllister, dean of the law school and interim director of the Robert
J. Dole Institute of Politics, arranged for Scialia to visit the law school and go hunting in Kansas shortly before the Supreme Court was to rule on two cases in which the McAllister was lead attorney, the Los Angeles Times reported Friday.
McAllister was host to Scalia during his visit to the law school in November 2001. Scalia visited with law students and local judges and lawyers while he was in Lawrence. The next day, Scalia went hunting near Beloit with then-Gov. Bill Graves and former state Senate
Before his visit, Scalia had heard one case for which McAllister was the lead attorney. The case involved keeping sex offenders in custody after they had served their prison terms. Two weeks after Scalia's visit, McAllister was the lead attorney on a trial involving a Kansas prison program for treating sex criminals. McAllister was representing the state in both cases, and Scalia sided with Kansas in both.
President Dick Bond.

The proposal of a merger between the men's and women's athletics department gave athletes mixed reactions. Some people thought the merger would lead to more exposure and better organization, while others thought men's teams needed focus on basketball and football because those sports were the steppingstones to the professional leagues Thirty years ago
The Faculty Senate unanimously
passed a resolution yesterday to investigate night security at the University of Kansas.
The University Senate Executive Committee said there was inadequate security in the evening that could endanger students and faculty, but that they were working on increasing campus safety.

Allen said students in the Kansas crowd were booing officials, intimidating officials in favor of their team.
Basketball Coach Forrest C. 'Phog' Allen this morning criticized sportsmanship shown at last Friday's
game, answered a charge made against him by Missouri Coach Sparky Stalcup.
Instead of helping our boys, the pseudo-sportsmen among our crowd only make it rougher on our team when it plays away from home since the hosts often retaliate for the slights done to their boys while here.
